A Big Idea!

Before I get to the Big Idea, I want to thank everyone for their condolences on the passing of my mom's kitty, Sir Moose-a-lot. It really means a lot when you all surround those who are grieving with your love and care. All of us have, or will, go through the loss of our furry companions, and it's so heartwarming to know that we are not alone when that time comes. Thank you.

Also, thank you for your warm welcome back to me, the Celestial mommy, from my long stay in rehab for my legs. The story on that is not done, looks like there will be surgery and of course rehab again after that, but for now I'm grateful to be home with my kitties!

So the Big Idea!

You all know that I fundraise for Winnie's Wish, the cat rescue and sanctuary that I got Leo and his sisters from. Chrystal is the big hearted woman at the center of Winnie's Wish. She does all of this wonderful work mostly by herself and pours her whole self into it. I think she's an extra special person and that's why I do what I can to help out.

Chrystal's birthday is coming up! May 27th! And just before her birthday she will be away on her only time off of the year, her yearly trip to Florida. It is SO hard for her to leave the kitties and her own fur family, but she needs this time to recharge her batteries to continue the 24/7 work she does the other eleven months and twenty days of the year.

So I'm thinking, why don't we have a Big Birthday Bash for her! I know, I know, we can't all go to her house.. But we can SEND STUFF to her house!

We'll call it Chrystal's Birthday Package Party!
She has a Wish List on amazon of items she seriously needs for Winnie's Wish but her BIGGEST need is Litter and Food.

It would be wonderful if everyone could send a bag of food or litter! Can you imagine what a surprise that would be to come home to??

But there's more!

If we start now! We can give her a buffer, maybe enough to get through the ten days she's gone on this wonderful, pre-birthday vacation! What a relief it would be for her not to have to worry if the person caring for the Wishers will run out of supplies!

And if we keep it going long enough, she'll have shipments all the way to her birthday! What a gift!

So, are you with me? Can we do this?

Hands and paws in, y'all! On three.. One.. Two.. Three!

Happy Birthday Chrystal!!!!

Thanks for listening! And thank you for considering joining in on Chrystal's Birthday Package Party!

Please feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions! anniclan AT aol DOT com

PS. Paypal donations would be just as awesome! There is a button on her blog that goes directly to her, or use the one on my blog and I can convert it into litter and food and send it in your name!

PPS. You don't have to use Amazon, I've sent packages to her from Chewy! You just need the address which you can email me for or get from the amazon wish list.

Andrea this is a magnificent idea. We have been supporters of Chrystal from the beginning after reading her wonderful book. We are so happy that things are still going and even better than ever.Purrs and Prayers of healing to you too!Timmy, Dad Pete and Family

Chrystal's family are from our home town. Such great folks. She has always been a champion of the furries. Andrea I am so sorry you are not doing so well. I never heard what happened. Prayers you will recover soon. Thanks for the gift you sent me of the white key chain and the little sweet pin. I have gotten so many comments on those. Chrystal is a wonder and you are the best for helping with all the money raising ventures. I am not so computer oriented. Most of the time I just use snail mail but am going to try to get husband to help me send something. Bye now - Best to your furries. Ginny and the Fur Family

About Me

I love cats, always have. I don't understand people who don't like cats. What special little creatures God put on this earth to give us love and companionship and to fill our lives with laughter and soft furry hugs.
Aside from loving kitties, I love my family. My husband is the best! My nieces and nephew are the closest thing to my own children I have, and I helped half raise them. One of the twins lives with me at the moment, back again from a 6 month stay in Alaska, which she did for the sole purpose, and I'm not making this up, of killing me!
I thank God every day for my family and my kitties and for giving me the life He has.
